PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Unstable Explosive Danger H200: Unstable Explosive P201: Obtain special instructions before use.
P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood.
P281: Use personal protective equipment as required.
P372: Explosion risk in case of fire.
P374: Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance.
P380: Evacuate area.

Since the substance, which is wetted with less than 30% water by mass, is prohibited from being transported (Ship Safety Act / Article 5-1(i) of Public Notice of the Ministry of Transport, No.549 of 1979), we determined that it is an unstable explosive. (If the substance is wetted with not less than 30% water by mass, it is defined as UN1347 and a desensitized explosive. Based on this information, it was classified into the "Not classified" category.)
2 Flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases) Not applicable - - - - Solid
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products.
4 Oxidizing gases Not applicable - - - - Solid
5 Gases under pressure Not applicable - - - - Solid
6 Flammable liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid
7 Flammable solids Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Not applicable - - - - Since the substance is classified as an explosive, classification as a self-reactive substance is not applicable.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid
10 Pyrophoric solids Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Not classified - - - - Since the substance can be wetted with water, we determined that it is stable in contact with water and classified it into the "Not classified" category.
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid
14 Oxidizing solids Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Containing no bivalent -O-O- structure in the molecule
16 Corrosive to metals Classification not possible - - - - No data available.

HEALTH HAZARDS

1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Solid
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible - - - - Regarding this substance, it is documented that contact with the skin can cause severe irritation and burns (SITTIG (2002)) and that contact can irritate the skin and eyes (HSFS (2000)). However, due to lack of adequate test results, the substance was classified into the "Classification not possible" category.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - Regarding this substance, it is documented that contact with the eyes can cause burns with severe damage (SITTIG (2002)) and that contact can irritate the skin and eyes (HSFS (2000)). However, due to lack of adequate test results, the substance was classified into the "Classification not possible" category.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - It is documented that breathing silver picrate can irritate the nose, throat and lungs causing coughing (HSFS (2000)). However, due to lack of adequate test results, the substance was classified into the "Classification not possible" category.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Regarding this substance, it is documented that hyperexposure or repeated exposure can cause kidney damage (SITTIG (2002)). However, due to lack of adequate test results, the substance was classified into the "Classification not possible" category.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
